High Chairs, Miracles and A Whole 'Lotta Pretty

Green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes, apple sauce, and pears PLUS cereal equals new tastes, textures and milestones in our house, times TWO.

This calls for a little something special and in this house this means a gift from Popo, aka, my dad, in the form of high chairs!

Thanks Popo!

Unfortunately my little angels were dealing with another "first" in the form of a fever and cold (as very evident on Lola's watery eyes and dazed stare).

Lately...

The girls are turning over and flopping around like little fish fresh out of the water.


And Lola just loves playing with her pink, bubble gum tongue!



On top of that, feet have been discovered, bottles are grabbed and held for brief moments, and size two diapers fit just fine.

I can't believe they are in their 5th month and 6 months will be here very soon.

In November we had no idea what was coming...


In December Mila was so gentle...



And Lola was a mere 6 pounds


Now we have blooming little girls, with a lot of spunk and personality.

Wha, what are we doing?

Check out these skirts! 
Ah, smiles!

We count our blessings hourly.


And we don't take for granted the gifts we were given with these girls.


It was a long road to get here, and unfortunately we have friends that have been waiting even longer. It's a miracle to see some of these friends have their moment, like my friend Tricia. It's also interesting to read stories from celebrities and their issues with infertility and failed pregnancies like that of Dallas Cowboys' DeMarcus Wares wife Taniqua you can read here.

We were not alone and if you are still waiting, neither are you.

There's not a day I don't remember how it felt to not know the joys of mommy hood. I look at these girls with awe of the miracles I hold. I laugh at how silly I must have looked in God's eyes when I'd cry myself to sleep at night with close to no hope.

He was probably thinking..."You cry for one baby, when TWO are on the way."

God is SO good, isn't He?

We are living proof miracles still happen.

Don't lose hope on your miracle!

Have a blessed week.

  3. We bought the skirts at Target a couple of months ago for only $8 or so. I made the toe blooms on their feet though :)
